Those Monsters, Like You
When you look at the world
What do you see?
Tell us, tell me
Because I don’t understand
When you look at the world,
Do you see a hopeless disaster?
Or do you see those glimmers of hope?
Those silent miracles
I don’t know what you see
I don’t know what you thought
But that day, that moment
The whole world knew what you did
Your bullets piercing living, breathing human beings
18 wounded, 6 died
Do you see that as a feather in your cap?
Or blood on your hands?
Do you see what I see?
Do you look in the mirror and see the monster the world has come to know?
No one will know why
Why you did this
But I know this, the boogeyman, he’s real
The monster in my closet, real
They are the images, nightmares, the pain
Of those monsters, like you
